I have Bluehost hosting my landing page and a few subdomains. One of the subdomains has a A-Record that points to an Amazon EC2 instance running tomcat. I would like the tomcat application to be hosted over HTTPS. Where do I need to install the certificate? On Bluehost or in tomcat on my EC2 instance?

You install the certificate On Tomcat. See here.
In general terms you run the certificate on the device you want to handle HTTPS, which is the web server hosting the subdomain. This is fairly intuitive as an SSL cert [usually] specifices a single domain, unless you get a wildcard cert or an SNI cert, in which case you would use it in both places.

1BTW, you might have gotten a better response if your question was generic. The exact same logic applies regardless of your web server or hosting provider. A lot of people (myself included) have never heard of Bluehost, but it doesn't really make a difference to the answer. – davidgo – 2013-09-28T08:00:39.313
